Hair loss

[karieship 6]

I use Nioxxin hair products to help with preventing Hair loss. It was designed to help cancer patients regrow their hair after chemo. Once I started using it, my hair stopped falling out and my hair grew back healthy. I continue using it now even though my hair is stable just to keep healthy what I have.

I am 7 months post-op. My hair was falling out really bad. I started taking the Biotin and it helped a little but not as much as I had hoped. Recently i notcied when i wash with cool Water it isnt as bad and since I started to drink alot of green tea it seems to be better.

I order it from Amazon. It is the best price. (2) 1 liter bottles for $32. The Shampoo and conditioner have a minty feel on the scalp. I have seen it at Walgreens but it is very overpriced. You can also find it at beauty supply stores.

I am happy to report, it does get better! I started losing hair at 3 months and it has started to slow down to the point I'm not concerned anymore. I can see little hairs about 1/2 - 1 inch long causing a halo all over my head. I'll likely end up cutting it but for now it's still mid back. I wear it loose in a claw (clasp thing) and do as little as possible to it.

This root concealer helped/helps give the illusion of having more hair. There are many other's like this out there.

I'm 6 months out and have been shedding like crazy. Chopped my hair off and it's a little less noticeable now

I have been losing hair for moths already, I just had my surgery last week. It was the pre-op diet. Biotin does nothing according to my doctor, makes sense I had been taking it for years and my hair still fell out. One of the Kaiser doc's said it's Vitiman A that helps with Hair growth, and that is in our multi Vitamins. I don't think there is much that can be done unfortunately I found this great hair powder online at QVC the Joan Rivers Beauty line, Great Hair Day, it's only $33 including shipping and lasts forever. I have dark brown hair and use the Blonde color. It's a powder that you brush on your clean scalp, it stays until you wash it out. Makes the bald spots look like hair

What's your question? I'm not sure if I understood it.... do you mean you went for years without having a period, and then you had your period after surgery? This happen to me

@@gerbrared,

It’s normal, unfortunately! Luckily, it will come back, eventually. The things you can try to do to minimize it include getting enough Protein and taking Biotin if you’re not already. Biotin is a B Vitamin, and yes, you can take it after surgery, and no, it’s not easy to overdose on it! Unfortunately, you can’t always get hair loss to stop even if you’re doing everything right. Just know that it’s normal and it’ll stop eventually.
